I've spotted this a few times now, but not had anyone else able to confirm it's happening for them

    It is a temporary graphic to indicate a Drifter is camouflaged. You'll also see this effect for buildings and players cloaked by the Shade.

    That's actually the new invisibility graphic, but I agree it doesn't look too good :p. It's probably a placeholder.

    I can't be certain, but I think it's also starting to affect other alien structures - like the hive in this example

    Everything that get's cloaked has this effect, and yeah it's horrible. It'll get replaced eventually.

    I can't see how this can be the new shade / invisibility feature, given that the drifter stacking problem is visible straight away in a new game !

    Because they have a passive Camouflage ability (invisible when not moving).

    it'd be awesome if it were animated, so instead of these gaps in the texture it'd be like a moving cloudy thing.

    Yea, drifters are now used for reconnaissance and field support. (Still a wip)

    Just to add weight to this: It is the invisible indicator. And yes, it is temporary.
